Health and Wellness is a very important part of school life at Gairmscoil Chú Uladh as the Healthy Schools committee were awarded both Active and Healthy School Flags in October 2015.
The Sky Sports Committee 2015/2016 have continued the good work from last year’s committee by recently organising a very successful colour run aimed at getting the whole school community fit and active.
